Kehrwochen signs in the Ländle: This is how neighborhood is organized!

The curious phenomenon of the "sweeping weeks" in the country is spreading. These striking signs help residents to organize the cleaning service in their hallways by passing on the responsibility from neighboring to neighbor. But be careful: if you pass on the sign without your cleaning task, you will be mercilessly denounced! This bizarre system ensures cleanliness and a certain amount of neighborhood druk, because nobody wants to be considered a "bitch". The cleaning obligation becomes the matter of pride and at the same time promotes neighborhood binding, but the question remains: Who actually invented the sign and why is there something like that? Another proof of how creative solutions are developed in everyday life! More information on this at www.schwaebische.de .
